Welcome to Aconex. You might be wondering, "what is Aconex and how can it help me?".

Construction and engineering projects generate plenty of information and data. 

Documents; drawings; correspondence; processes.

You've got a mammoth task keeping all that data organized, secure, and accessible across multiple teams, organizations, and locations.

Not to mention trying to gain useful insights if it's all over the place.

That's where Aconex comes in.

Aconex brings your project together and stores the information securely online, all in one place. Balancing the need for data security and collaboration.

And all the tools you need are built right in. Find things fast, manage processes and costs, collaborate with everyone on your project, draw valuable insights from your data and see the whole picture, where ever you are. If you need to, you can integrate with other systems.

When Aconex is set up correctly and everyone knows the basics, it helps jobs get done quicker, easier, and on budget.

So, how does it work?

The key to success in Aconex is capturing all the relevant information, both up-front and throughout your project. We do this with Mail and Document types. 

Mail is for correspondence, questions, answers, advice and other processes.

And Documents are used for drawings and other files that need to go through a series of revisions. 

Mail and Document Types help you get set up with the right information. Choosing the type sets up forms to collect the right details at the right time. 

This little bit of work saves time down the track, and unlocks the power of search, workflows, reporting and just about every other process, from start to project end.

In Aconex, your information is securely stored and selectively shared.

Accessible on any device, anywhere, your information is your information. To start, organizations can only access data they created or received. And then each organization decides what they share with others. No one automatically gets access to everything on the project.

Plus, Aconex keeps a record of everything, so you can always see who’s done what, no matter the size of the project or organizations involved.

This level playing field creates trust and shared accountability, encouraging everyone to collaborate and be on the same page.

And, that's just the start. Once you know the basics, Aconex will be your one-stop-shop for Document reviews and markups, site Inspections, issue and cost management, BIM Models and much much more.

On your Aconex journey, Support Central will be your guide, covering every facet of Aconex in detail, through a mix of how-to articles and videos like this one.

Welcome to Aconex, it's great to be working with you.
